Profile:
Known as "Jacker", F.S.Jackson was a fine all-rounder for Yorkshire and
England around the turn of the century. Although his cricket was limited
by other commitments (he was a true amateur), he was an automatic choice
for England when available (although he was never able to tour
Australia). His greatest feat was against Australia in the 1905 series.
He captained the side, won all 5 tosses, and headed both the batting and
bowling averages: 492 runs at 70.28 (in spite of 2 ducks - he also had 2
hundreds) and 13 wickets at 15.46. England won the series 2-0 with 3
drawn. He was a superb and stylish bat, and a fast medium bowler of
considerable skill.
His overall Test figures were 1415 runs at 48.79 with 5 hundreds (better than
any other England player up to this period, I think); 24 wickets at
33.29 (in first-class cricket: 15824 runs at 34.03 with 31 hundreds;
774 wickets at 20.40).
All his Tests (over the period 1893-1905) were
against Australia - he had no easy pickings against the comparatively
weak South Africans.
Subsequently he was an MP, a President of MCC, and Governor of Bengal.
(But he never captained Yorkshire on a regular basis, since Lord Hawke
was immovable in that post for many years.)
